For each brand, we introduce the flavors and characteristics through charts and explanatory texts, so please use this information to help you choose your sake. We also offer a 'three types tasting' at our store. For more details, please ask our staff. [Sake Meter Value] The sake meter value quantifies the amount of sugar in sake and serves as one guideline to express its flavor. Generally, it is based on ±0, where the more negative it is, the sweeter it is considered, and the more positive it is, the drier it is considered. The actual taste varies depending on individual differences and other factors. [Acidity] Organic acids are an important component in creating the flavor of sake. Organic acids provide acidity and umami to sake, and the acidity level indicates the amount of these acids. Low acidity tends to give a clean impression, while high acidity tends to result in a rich and full-bodied flavor. Saga Prefecture is known for its rice production, and there are over 20 sake breweries with unique charms scattered throughout the prefecture. Each brewery produces a variety of sake brands and types. The flavors are diverse, and each brewery offers its own unique sake. While enjoying the different flavors from each brewery, please try to find your favorite sake maker.
